Chapter 49

"Why don't we call Gu Chen quickly!" Paimon thought of a plan in her anxiety.

"Gu Chen..."

"He probably isn't the Shogun’s opponent either... no." Lumine struggled for a moment and shook her head.

"Ah?"

Paimon was stunned.

The Raiden Shogun was getting closer and closer to Lumine.

At the same time, a white figure appeared on the stone bridge in front of the Tenshukaku.

Under the oppressive atmosphere, the white robe fluttered in the wind, and the tip of the silver-white spear flowed with cold and sharp light.

The Raiden Shogun stopped, stood still, and looked into the distance.

Gu Chen’s gaze met the Raiden Shogun’s in mid-air.

"You really came, destroyer of eternity." The Raiden Shogun said coldly.

"Although I don't know what La Signora did, I was sure you would be waiting for me here." Gu Chen looked at the Raiden Shogun without fear.

Walking to Lumine’s side, checking Lumine’s injuries, he waved his hand, signaling Lumine to hide behind him, and then said: "Call me when you encounter difficulties; I will always appear by your side at the first moment."

"Alright, you guys go first."

"But..."

Lumine just wanted to say something.

She knew very well that her strength couldn't help Gu Chen.

After thinking about it, in order not to hold him back, Lumine decisively pulled Paimon and said to Gorou, Kazuha, and others: "Run!"

"Okay!"

Everyone didn't have time to think too much; they only knew they couldn't stay here to hold him back, so they quickly packed up and retreated.

The distance between Gu Chen and the Raiden Shogun was less than ten meters.

Both stared at each other without moving.

But the thick sense of oppression in the air seemed to be forming into substance.

"Do you want to rely on this?"

The Raiden Shogun suddenly turned her head, her gaze falling on the Statue of the Omnipresent God.

Gu Chen didn't speak.

The Raiden Shogun raised her katana, a flash of light directly destroyed the Statue of the Omnipresent God, and she said lightly: "I don't know your plan, but that fox inside... will definitely try every means to stop eternity. Thinking about it... only the Visions on the statue will stop me on the path of eternity... Now, without reliance, do you still want to threaten me with the lives of Inazuma’s people?"

Gu Chen grinned and said softly: "I don't have morals."

"I know, so as you can see, the citizens of Inazuma City have already evacuated." The Raiden Shogun said calmly.

"Of course."

Gu Chen nodded, "I watched them evacuate with my own eyes. After all, in the eyes of the Shogun of eternal eternity, human life can be used as a threat once, but it will never be used a second time. By the second time, the Musou no Hitotachi will turn this place into Musoujin Gorge, right?"

"Mm." The Raiden Shogun nodded indifferently.

"You are really ruthless. It’s just a pity that your path of eternity is undoubtedly wrong." Gu Chen sighed.

"Determination, courage, love, hatred, all will deteriorate and distort in the long river of time."

"I am the past of the inside, I am the law that never changes for ten thousand generations, I am the guardian of eternity."

"This body symbolizes supreme majesty, is granted the power to rule a country, and condenses everything of the Raiden Shogun."

"If you want to destroy the law, then, this body will turn into an Asura!"

"Do you want to be my enemy?"

Looking at the Raiden Shogun, whose momentum was growing, Gu Chen, who could feel the biting lightning in the air, said: "No need to say more. When you wanted to kill Lumine, we were already enemies!"

In an instant, two figures flashed at the same time and collided, terrifying power emerged, and the ground was cracking inch by inch...

The real world.

Wangshu Inn.

Lumine’s heart was pounding wildly.

When encountering things she couldn't handle, having someone appear in time, that sense of security made Lumine feel a bit dizzy.

She looked at Gu Chen in the video, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

"Did he, did he confront the Raiden Shogun because the Raiden Shogun wanted to kill me?" Lumine asked.

"Eh?"

Paimon was stunned by the question.

Then, after looking at Lumine’s flushed face, Paimon nodded in realization and said: "Yes, it’s very obvious!"

"Look, when we came to Ritou, La Signora must have said something to the Raiden Shogun before this, so we met the Raiden Shogun as soon as we arrived."

"Gu Chen probably isn't entirely the Raiden Shogun’s opponent and could only retreat, protecting you in secret. But the Raiden Shogun is clearly very concerned about you, but she recognizes your glory as the winner of the duel before the throne, letting you walk out of the Tenshukaku."

"Then, she kills you in front of the Tenshukaku, Gu Chen will definitely appear. Her purpose is to kill Gu Chen and you—oh, I am the incidental one."

Speaking of this, Paimon spread her hands, her little face carrying complex emotions, and continued: "In order not to be threatened by the lives of the citizens anymore, she even let the Inazuma citizens evacuate. The purpose must be to take down Gu Chen in one battle. After taking down Gu Chen, wouldn't you and I be easily killed? It’s just a pity that looking at the plot, Yae Miko was also kept in the dark..."

Paimon had a headache and said worriedly: "I hope Yae Miko comes to save the day quickly!"

Lumine didn't hear the latter part at all.

She only knows now that Gu Chen wants to kill the Raiden Shogun because the Raiden Shogun wants to kill her.

But he clearly isn't the Raiden Shogun’s opponent!

Paimon talked for a long time and found that Lumine didn't react, turned her head and curled her lips.

She finally discovered it.

It’s clearly a video of a past life, but in Lumine’s heart, Gu Chen’s importance is rising with the playing of the video.

Now, this guy has even had a love-brain attack.

Paimon shook her head. She wasn't too worried about this, and even felt that it was a good thing for Lumine and Gu Chen to get together.

After all, the sense of security Gu Chen in the video gives people is too strong, and he also has very good craftsmanship!

"Hehe..."

Paimon smiled unconsciously, then touched the corner of her mouth and smiled even more brightly.

At this time, in the group.

[Yae Miko]: It’s broken. If we don't use the wishes of the people, how can we defeat Ei? Moreover, the Raiden Shogun clearly wants to fight Gu Chen herself. Ei might still be meditating and doesn't even know about this! It’s too hard to defeat the Raiden Shogun’s steel-like will!!

[Tartaglia]: Ah? Doesn't that mean Gu Chen is in danger?!

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: Not just Gu Chen, I’m afraid Lumine and little Paimon, as well as the people of the Resistance, are all in danger. Among them, Lumine and Paimon will definitely die, and the people of the Resistance will also be implicated because of the rebellion!

[Furina]: Broken, broken, it’s completely broken this time. Yae Miko, save the day quickly!

[Yae Miko]: Don't think about it. If there is a problem, I will definitely find an opportunity to appear. But now that I haven't appeared, it means I have also been held back. This rigid Raiden Shogun actually has such wisdom?!

[Arataki Itto]: Where am I? My past life, hurry up and help! (Anxious)

[Kuki Shinobu]: Boss, you’d better pray that you don't go and add to Gu Chen’s trouble. (Forehead)

[Sangonomiya Kokomi]: Looking at it this way, everything seems to be in the Raiden Shogun’s calculations. But why would she calculate these? (Miss Miss Keqing: Question)

[Shikanoin Heizou]: There is only one answer.

[Alhaitham]: The Fatui.

[Kaeya]: How can these Fatui be so good at making trouble! (Headache)

[La Signora]: Heh, isn't it common sense to take a backer with you when you die?

[Tartaglia]: I don't know anything. Everyone knows I’m not a wisdom-type Harbinger. (Qiqi: Fall)

[Mona]: It should be Scaramouche, right? Isn't he just in Inazuma, helping La Signora guard the Delusion factory.

[Raiden Ei]: He has this wisdom?

[Scaramouche]: ...

Beelzebul, who the hell are you looking down on!

But Scaramouche didn't refute.

He felt that it shouldn't be him, because he in the past life was seriously injured by Gu Chen, and he was too busy recovering to do these things?

Moreover, this plan doesn't look like his style!

[Diluc]: If someone among the Fatui is good at this, I’m afraid it’s Dottore.

[Nahida]: (Shivering)

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: Heard of him.
